Lagg?

Isnt there a Trans-Pacific-Data-Cable? If there was one the US would probably have the same ping as europe (if not better).

300ms delay is hardly visible to a standard user. I played FPS Tournaments with such pings and even there you dont notice that much of it (if the ping remains constantly at 300). In Planeshift you will probably only notice your computers loading time

300 in FPS tournaments? Ouch. I used to get annoyed if my ping reached 100 in CS. Heh. I averaged around 67... it was great. Though I did play Wolfenstein 3:ET at around 190-200.

Ping generally increases exponentially over distance as it goes thru more routing but an inescapable factor is the speed of light.

It reminds me of the IT guy who got fired because his boss wouldn\'t believe that it was physically impossible to get ping from the London to New-York offices lower than 20ms

I think there would be more than one world to play in then the game is done. This would reduce player crampness (is that a word?) significantly. Also with all this new streaming and stuff technology, you can make a seamless world with no lag at all.

It depends on the design. If they make combat too fast or based on player\'s accuracy/reflexes then even a small lag will give you a huge disadvantage (and frustration). I don\'t think it will be a problem in Planeshift though.

For some reason i have little lag, it never really runs smoothly but it only lags for a second, every second.

Here is my system:
AMD Duron 800 GHz
Maxtor 10GB 5400RPM
128MB SDRAM PC 133

And i have DSL

So if my internet speed is 21.6kbps, will i likely have big problems.  My computer\'s stats are more than enough, trust me, so will it be a problem.

Wow ur net speed is low! You might find it very hard to run PS or even CB in that case. I highly suggest getting a better connection.

Myrtl, some people don\'t have a choice. I\'d say that you won\'t be the only one with a connection like that.
It will be slower, but you should be able to cope.

\"Lag\" in MB is because of a slow graphics renderer, NOT because of the internet connection the server is on, or the connection you are on, and the renderer is more or less fixed in CB. The end.
